Genshin Impact
原神
*Genshin Impact* is a 2020 open-world action RPG developed by miHoYo that brought console-grade 3A visuals to mobile and successfully popularized gacha monetization among Western core players . As 真格基金 noted, it became "the first Chinese game to truly become a major hit in the West," generating billions of dollars internationally with roughly half its revenue coming from outside China . The game is anime-styled with a full gacha system, and its cross-platform release strategy—launching first on mobile before adding PC and console versions with full interoperability—helped it break through where earlier Chinese MMOs had struggled with dense, culturally specific interfaces . By 2024, it remained a benchmark for Chinese gaming's global reach, even as the industry shifted toward new titles like *Black Myth: Wukong* .
